From The healthcare workforce across the UK: 2024 A summary of the cross-UK comparability of official direct NHS employment statistics and other relevant data sources, including non-official data, on specific healthcare professionals across the UK, published by the ONS on 6 March 2024, the following data on staffing at the end of 2023:
NHS England – 1 308 825.
With one tenth, or 10%, of the population, all things being equal, we might expect NHS Scotland to have around 131 000.
However, it had 158 375, 27 375 or 20.8% more staff
